homemade cleaning products

I noticed in the green thread a few of you said you make your own household cleaning products. Would you care to share some recipes and methods on this? I know there are a tonne of recipes on google, but I'd like to know tried and tested ones you swear by. TIA

I make my own laundry detergent and it works great! Very cost effective. 1 bar of Fels Naptha shredded then put through a food processor, 1 cup washing soda, 1 cup borax. Combine and it only takes about 2 teaspoons per load unless, highly soiled. I make a double batch and it lasts forever and the ingredients are cheap :)

I use the same recipe as amber - works great! Also, vinegar is a great fabric softener - add a cup (I usually add less) to already washed clothes and run a rinse cycle. My favorite way to clean my bathtub is to liberally sprinkle baking soda on the tub and spray vinegar on it. Wait a few minutes while it fizzes and then scrub. Dirt comes right off!
